About the Facilitator

Lesley Curtis (she/her) is the co-owner and founder of Sagely. She holds a doctorate from Duke University, where she focused on storytelling and abolitionist movements. Today, she is a consultant and educator, using compassionate witnessing to resolve current habits and intergenerational patterns. She teaches a method of self-regulation that encourages witnessing through a trauma-informed lens.

In her work with transformational leaders, Lesley invites clients to identify their individual door of entry to trust-building work, helping others become a calm in the storm necessary in tumultuous times. Our deepest wounds, when shown love, become our biggest reservoirs for compassion. Compassion expands our capacity to hear what's necessary to create the conditions for change.
